MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD The Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. LAPSING O F BALANCES IN THE GENERAL RESERVE F U N D (1) The action of the Board of Trustees in approving the budget for each year provides that "when appointments are made at salary rates less than the amounts provided in the budget, the unused balance will lapse at that time." Accordingly, balances in the salaries budgets of the various departments of the University due to positions not filled during the first semester, 1936-1937, or to appointments at salaries less than the budgetary provisions, totaling $28,619, are lapsing during the first half of the current academic year and will go into the General Reserve Fund. Lists of these items are being given to the Secretary of the Board and the Comptroller for record. This report was received for record. APPROPRIATION FOR ELECTRICAL STANDBY SERVICE AT MCKINLEY HOSPITAL (2) A recommendation that an assignment of $3,800 be made from the General Reserve Fund for a conduit and the extension of the Illinois Power and Light Corporation's cable to the McKinley Hospital to provide electrical standby service in that building. It is important to provide this for emergency service, particularly in this building, in case of failure of the University's power service. On motion of Mr. Barrett, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue; no, none; absent, Mr. Barr, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Wieland, Mr. Williams. APPROPRIATION FOR BUREAU OF INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH (3) A recommendation that an assignment of $600 be made from the General Reserve Fund to the Bureau of Institutional Research for traveling expenses during the current academic year to enable the Director to visit a number of institutions to secure first-hand information for his study of trends in educational developments.
